Let’s make BETTER presentations
VISUALIZE
ORGANIZE
TELL A STORY

Today, people are 90% visual.
VISUALIZE

Present with CON-text
not just text
Words + Pictures > Words
Visualize what you will say and how you will say it

Avoid using clipart
Select real meaningful images
If you don’t have a good picture, don’t put any
30pt should be your smallest font size

Kiran’s Simple Design Rules
1 Idea per slide
2 Fonts at most
3 Matching colors at most
4-tos Not clipart

“
Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler.
ORGANIZE
“

Structure your presentation
Establish rapport
Greet and state your objective
Start interesting
Create a smooth slide flow
End with a BANG

Slidumentation is not acceptable
Do not copy-paste from books/internet
Make your OWN slides

Creating effective slides is just half the battle, DELIVERY

RULES are just RULES
